PUBG is one of the most played and downloaded game in India and across the globe. But, there are some issues going on with the online battlefield game in India. An 11-year-old boy wrote a letter to the government seeking a ban on the online game PUBG. Ahad wrote a four-page letter to the government, said that this is an appeal to ban the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. He wrote the letter because this game promotes violence and cyberbullying.

In the letter, he said that this is an "appeal to forthwith ban online game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds [PUBG] as it promotes immoral conduct such as violence, murder, aggression, looting, gaming addiction and cyberbullying".

"I will be compelled to seek appropriate legal [civil and criminal] proceeding as per law; naturally at your cost and consequences" if the game is not banned.

Ahad marked seven people in his letter including Ravi Shankar Prasad (Ministry of Electronics and IT), Vinod Tawde (Maharashtra education minister) and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

However, he has not received any reply from the government side. Therefore he has decided to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Bombay High court.
